Magnolia

I love the lush but subtly colored blossoms of magnolias and this year I finally remembered to take a photo of the tree next door at the right time so I could appreciate them all year long. They come and go so quickly it is a challenge to find the time and the weather to do it. For
Gallery Inspiration Round 9. I was challenged to lift this layout : http://www.scrapbook.com/gallery/image/layout/3470791.html
I misted and spattered ( one of my misters refuses to work as a spray anymore but it drips quite nicely), then masked and misted again. The bird and butterflies were from scraps of old LYB that I fussy cut and misted over the glitter. All of the gems and the ribbon are from my stash.

since I posted this I noticed how off-kilter the lace was so I told it to straighten out and by gosh it did. ; 0
